1 Forums vs. Fountains: The Evolution of Knowledge Networks in Akron and Rochester Sean Safford University of Chicago Graduate School of Business

2 The Question How can local economies prosper in a rapidly changing, increasingly open global economy? Universities, Innovation and Local Competitiveness Sean Safford 2006

3 Typology of Regional Trajectories

4 Silicon Valleys of the Second Industrial Revolution * Rochester * Akron

5 Silicon Valleys of the Second Industrial Revolution By the 1980s, major companies had moved manufacturing to lower cost regions Broadened research and development beyond local area Shifted R&D toward advanced materials and applications.

6 Global Patents Optics and Polymers Optics Polymers Other Europe Asia Southern MidWest Northeast Rochester Other Europe Asia Southern Midwest Northern Akron

7 Fears of a Flat World There is nothing that guarantees that Americans or West Europeans will continue leading the way [in innovation]. Thomas Friedman. It s a Flat World After All. New York Times 3 April 2005 Universities, Innovation and Local Competitiveness Sean Safford 2006

8 Two Competing Scenarios Hollowing out Agglomeration Universities, Innovation and Local Competitiveness Sean Safford 2006

9 Global Co-Patenting Network Polymers

10 Global Co-Patenting Network Polymers

11 Global Co-Patenting Network Polymers

12 Global Co-Patenting Network Optics and Optoelectronics

13 Co-Authoring Network: Akron

14 Co-Authoring Network: Rochester

15 The problem restated: institutional lock-in Long line of research suggests that the issue has to do with institutional lock-in (Herrigel 1997; Grabher 1997; Krugman 1996). Mature industrial regions cannot regenerate out of existing capabilities because institutional lock-in will impede the development of institutions consistent with environmental needs.

16 Stark and Grabher: Bricolage and Post-Communist Transformation Actors faced with acute economic crisis withhold resource investments and engage in provisional moves. Localized processes of sense-making with specific interlocutors result in provisional resource investment accompanied by adjustment of organizational identities.

17 Annealing A process used to remove internal stresses in metals, alloys, or glasses making the material less brittle usually by re-heating and then cooling in a specialized furnace. Disentangling Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Toward an Innovation Ecosystem Approach

18 Second Industrial Revolution Innovation Ecosystems Federal (esp military) $ $ Design Industrial R&D Goods Supplier Supplier Supplier Supplier Supplier Supplier $ People Local & State Gov $ Civil Society University Local Banks

19 What has changed? Large companies: global strategic research partnerships Suppliers: need design capability Careers unfold across multiple employers and regions Small companies need access to patient, knowledgeable capital and specialized equipment Hollowing out of civic power structures

20 What has changed? Universities roles have expanded to occupy the central role in the local innovation ecosystem. Generate new innovations Educate at all levels of the labor market Spin-out new companies Open access to specialized equipment Investments in property and high-growth ventures Facilitate industry groups and lead civil society response

21 Universities occupy a uniquely central role in the networks of trust which define the various spheres of the innovation ecosystem. The Social Capital of the University

22 The Host at the Party vs. the Life of the Party

23 Akron: Fountain Approach

24 Rochester: Forum Approach

25 Knowledge: Semrock Founder: Promising Assistant Professor from the University of Rochester Technology: world leading optical thin film technology, layers of material that sort light in minute ways. No intellectual property licensed with or from the University. I I was very familiar with optical thin film technology. I had a couple of students working on that stuff. We didn t t make the kinds of structures we make here. It was more intellectual connections than it was realization Absorbing, Unlocking and Annealing: Recapturing Innovation in Mature Industrial Regions

26 Knowledge: Bausch & Lomb and CAT-EIS Ian Cox, director of research. Longstanding philanthropic relationship with the university; no incentives or interest in moving beyond that. And so you know we talk about the Alliance sometimes. That was a nice name for publicity purposes in press releases. [Became a real] alliance because it sort of brings together both Bausch & Lomb and the clinical side which is the Department of Ophthalmology, but also the optical side which is the Center for Visual Science so that s s where the tie in with the Center for Electronic Imaging Systems (CEIS) comes in. Absorbing, Unlocking and Annealing: Recapturing Innovation in Mature Industrial Regions

27 Labor market: Rochester Photonics Prominent University of Rochester Professor with an entrepreneurial bent Technology: minimizing light scatter in photolithography Acquired by Corning Incorporated in 1998 Only hires experienced people; poached mainly from Kodak and Corning. But the connections were made (really maintained) through university ties. Absorbing, Unlocking and Annealing: Recapturing Innovation in Mature Industrial Regions

28 Financial: Trillium Venture capital fund with money from High Wealth Individuals, Monroe County and the University of Rochester. We have invested in three companies: an orphaned technology out of Kodak which we brought to the photonics cluster guys and they said there s s probably something there. They bought it to us and it developed and we invested. Absorbing, Unlocking and Annealing: Recapturing Innovation in Mature Industrial Regions

29 Conclusion Institutional change as a process of identity adjustment (annealing) which happens through interaction in the process of problem solving. Universities (and other key intermediaries) are in a unique position to facilitate these interactions due to their social capital.
